It is difficult to say what our cities mean to us, our places where we visit. For some, this is just a set of letters on the map, for others it is something huge, kind and eternal, and for others it is an unimaginable feeling of nostalgia. However, no matter what category of people we belong to, it is difficult to deny the mysterious duality of cities. It is at the same time something personal, private and sacred, but at the same time something public, all-encompassing and vulgar. A selection of statuses about such a simple and complex thing - about cities, about favorite cities, about beautiful cities.

Now the whole world is standing on the edge, looking down at the damn hell. All those liberals, intellectuals, sweet talkers. And for some reason, suddenly no one knows what to say.

Any city ceases to be hostile as soon as you eat and drink in it. (The city seems alien to a person until he eats and drinks in it.)

Walking through an unfamiliar city, if you haven’t worn out your legs, don’t collapse from fatigue, have at least a little money in your pocket, and a few days left, is one of the most enjoyable activities in the world.

Mark Levy. First night
Nowhere and never, in any city in the world, believe me, it's true, the stars do not shine as brightly and captivatingly as in the city of childhood.
All my generation are loners, we are deaf to each other, like a bird diving; busy with their own business, we hear nothing around; hiding in peaceful marriages, we dream of that one, condemned to a lonely plate and dinner in silence; we saw the cities, not the people in them.
Milorad Pavic. Landscape painted with tea
If the essence of life is information transmitted through genes, then society and culture are nothing more than an additional giant system for the accumulation and storage of information. That is, the city is a giant external device for storing information.

Tired of reading "Oblomov"
And expect good weather from women,
Tired of being soft, gentle, unnecessary,
Tired of living in the city
Where the authorities are afraid of snow
And the traffic cops say hello
With expensive cars.
Tired of being an adult
Who knows everything
But nothing can.
Alik Yakubovich. flying fish

Soldiers surrender cities, generals take them.
Alexander Tvardovsky
You can build your future from anything. From some crumbs or sparks. From the desire to move forward, slowly, one step after another. You can build a spacious city on the ruins.
Lauren Oliver
The problem with small towns is that everyone thinks they know who you are.
The killer inside of me
I am perhaps more attracted to the complete freedom of life in a wild country than the beauty of nature. There a person can really preserve his human dignity, not like in our cities.
Ethel Lilian Voynich
After the break, certain streets, places, even times become forbidden! The city turns into a desolate battlefield filled with mines of memories. You have to carefully watch where you step, otherwise you will be torn to pieces ....
I have always believed that the things you don't choose make you who you are: your city, your neighborhood, your family.
Moscow is a city where money can be made out of thin air.
Love is not a mirror pond into which you can gaze forever. It has ebb and flow. And shipwrecks wrecked, and sunken cities, and octopuses, and storms, and boxes of gold, and pearls ... But pearls - they lie very deep.
My life does not belong to me. I live in a city where I don't want to be. I live a life that I don't want to live.
Whoever decides to conquer the capital must be stronger than her. This city does not forgive weakness and does not believe in tears...
Not old age is the surest sign of maturity, but the ability not to get confused, waking up on a busy street in the city center in your underwear.
They finished synchronously, in different parts of the city, each on its own shelf of a rack of human high-rise buildings ....
Warm days have returned to the city. They returned with redoubled affection, as unfaithful wives return. All day long frivolous, restless clouds wandered across the sky, and dry, fried autumn leaves densely lay on the ground silently, without a rustle. For several days the city seemed to be in a warm and kind of blissful swoon, it indulged in autumn, this changeable liar, and did not believe, did not want to believe in the imminent onset of cold weather ...
Dina Rubina
Waiting and hoping is a sure way to suddenly go crazy, but running around the city and doing stupid things is exactly what you need!
Hometown is not the one in which you started your life, but the one in which you want to end it.
I'm not sure that I really exist. I am all the writers I've read, all the people I've met, all the women I've loved, and all the cities I've been to.

Joseph Brodsky
Autumn depressingly covers the city with leaves, Corroding paint with a wet mood.
The Germans can destroy the city, destroy its treasures, leave us without heat and light, but they are not allowed to destroy faith in the souls of people!
Alexander Chakovsky
I will go where you are. I don't need anything else. I don't need student council anymore. I don't need good grades anymore. I no longer need smart comrades. I don't want to meet spring in another city. I want to meet her with you. This is enough for me.
Some tourists think that Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in fact it is a city of freedom. It's just that in conditions of freedom, the majority chooses sin.
While my crazy city swallows funny dreams, And lays noisy streets with maple hearts, Lord, I beg you, fasten my soul with all buttons, So that I don’t completely disappear until spring
The city lies in darkness... It's winter again...
... the town turned out to be photogenic, albeit the ass of the world.

The city is melting in a flock in the darkness, Autumn, what did I know about you? How many leaves will be torn, Autumn is always right.
The sun was shining and people were moving vigorously. It was an asphalt spring, it was one of those spring days of autumn that do not belong to any season, which cities conjure up.
Robert Musil.
The pursuit of history is always present in Barcelona. For me, cities are organisms, living beings. For me, Madrid is a man and Barcelona is a woman. And this is a very self-satisfied woman.
Of course, if you want to look at the two most important things - how a person lives and how nature lives - you must come here, to the ravine. After all, the city, in the end, is just a big ship battered by storms, it is full of people, and everyone is busy tirelessly - they scoop out water, chip off the rust.
Ray Bradbury

They say that in a big city people are more tolerant than in the provinces. No, it's just indifference.
The big city is a miserable, helpless monster. Everything that it consumes must be delivered to it.
What matters is not the seclusion of the place, but independence. The poets who lived in the cities still remained hermits.

- I don't know, dear... Perhaps we were all scattered around the world and mixed in it so that everyone would look for their own place. Heart.

Venice would be a wonderful city if drained.
Attributed to Ulysses Grant.
Dressed in this way, and not otherwise, a woman promises herself to a greater or lesser extent. A provincial woman trying to follow the fashion in Paris promises herself in the most absurd form and thereby ridicules herself. Provincial women who come to Paris should first dress as if they were already thirty years old.

A small town is a nice place where the neighbors keep an eye on your wife.
write poems about the city only a person who is sincerely attached to his small homeland, who knows this area inside and out, can. Only in this case is he able to convey all the uniqueness created by the same people. We know many poems about the city that is the capital of Russia - about Moscow, about the city that rightfully deserved the status of the cultural capital - about St. Petersburg. (Although someone, perhaps, only at the word “Leningrad” feels warmth, he is embraced by memories of joys and sorrows.) But we are no less interested in poems about cities, the names of which we learn only from such works. All this literary work has one thing in common: wherever a person lives, he considers the city where he spent his childhood, youth, maturity, the best on earth.
Urban lyrics can be filled with luxurious epithets, graceful metaphors. This is a desire to elevate, glorify your beloved city. However, closest to the reader were and remain simple words of a person who walks aimlessly down the street and notices small but very important details. Of these, in fact, the very same “real city life” consists. Principle “what I see, I sing” in poems about the city especially welcome. Here everything is seen without embellishment, and we ourselves can make the right picture in our imagination.
Reading city poems, we can discover new sides of different places around the world unknown to us. Or maybe someone such works will be able to inspire thoughts about the journey? One way or another, we see the city through the prism of the author's perception. And this is doubly interesting.
